Tricks Of The Trade

Take It With A Friend

Adding your buddy to the shot will help you feel more at ease. Have fun and let your confidence shine—there's nothing more beautiful than that, no matter what you're wearing.

Do The Model Lean

Sitting upright in a bathing suit is unflattering on almost anybody. Instead, lean back and prop yourself up on your elbows to tighten your stomach. Have your bestie take your photo from an angle, and slightly bend your knees to elongate your legs.

Go About Your Day

Take the stress out of striking a pose. Instead, stroll while the camera snaps away. It'll feel more natural.
